Best Answer: In the first three weeks your dreadlocks be will very delicate and you'll want to wash them about every 5 days. After they have had a chance to establish themselves a bit, usually after the 1st month, you should begin washing them every 2-3 days. Always use residue free shampoo when you wash your dreads.
5. Wax the dreads. Use a natural dread wax or tightening gel to keep your dreads from fraying or frizzing. Apply the wax or gel to the entire length of the dread, taking care to cover the whole strand but remember less is better. If you choose to wax it need only be done every 2-4 weeks. 1  Many people with dreads do not use a dread wax or gel because they believe it obstructs the dreading process.
